SOME TESTIMONIALS:"Thanks very much for attending our Commonwealth Games 2014 launch event at Dumbarton recently. Your speech was inspiring and we were very grateful to you for attending.Having David attend Aggreko's Commonwealth Games Launch Event was a massive boost to the whole day. It undoubtedly raised the levels of attendees from the press, local Scottish Companies, other Commonwealth Games sponsors and Aggreko's own customers. David gave an inspiring speech about his life and sporting career completely in context with the day which kept the audience of some 300 people enthralled. After the event he showed great patience, enthusiasm and good nature in talking to everyone, allowing them to hold his silver medal and having his photograph taken. David stayed right until the very last guest had left the event when he then gave his time freely for the Aggreko staff as well. I could not thank David enough for his approach to our event and would highly recommend him to other organisations looking to appoint an inspiring athlete and Olympian to work with them."Angus Cockburn, CEO Aggreko. UK Ltd

"David Murdoch attended the annual Sports Direct conference on behalf of Adidas on Thursday 8th May 2014. David is an excellent public speaker, very engaging and humble when talking to audiences re. his fantastic personal sporting achievements. He is down to earth, approachable and when you add his natural humour to the above, is someone I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an athlete or celebrity to attend a function".Mark Pope, Key Account Manager, Adidas.

"David Murdoch and his Team GB curling colleague Scott Andrews were amazing! The school was buzzing all day yesterday and still is buzzing today. Both Olympians were gracious, charming and extremely talented with not only their sport but with teaching the children the art of 'New Age Curling.' This involved using extremely lightweight artificial curling stones that run on ball bearings suitable for youngsters. Please pass on to David and Scott my sincere thanks, I left the school amazed. They surpassed my expectations of what it was going to be like and what the children would have got out of the experience.They stayed for photos with their medals with all the youngsters and our key staff which made the event extra special".Mr S Allen, Headteacher, Chiseldon Primary School.
